A Serious Blund@r which win BE Effectively
Used Against the ToIies.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July 6-The Cass affair, in me
House of Commons, last night, has created
profound sensation, and undenably inflicted
enormous damage upon the Tory party in the
influence it will have over the political action of
the English electors. Advantage will, of course,
be taken of the circumstance by the Gladstoni-
ans in the coming elections, to show that the in
cdent indicates the inability of the Conservative
government to grasp the popular will in the ad-
ministration OF home matters, and to prove that
the stupid and cavalier treatment by Mr..
Matthews of the question before the House, and
the gentlemen who condemned the action OF the
police and Magistrate Newton, is fair sample
of the governments lack of insight into the
needs and wishes of the constituencies
through whose votes the Ministry
elevated into power. That incident and the
very encouraging results OF the election at
Spalding has stimulated the liberals to renewed
energy in the constituencies vet TO be ontested
in Horneey division of Middle Essex and the
Bridgeton division of Glasgow, and while the
success of the Gladstonian candidate in the lat
ter constituency is forecone conclusion, both
divisions are depended upon to show
whelming revulsion of popular feeling in favor
of Mr.. Gladstone's Irish policy aud the liberal
methods of rule in England Reflection has
convinced the ministers that Mr.. Matthews's
withdrawal from the Cabinet at this time, and as
the result of the home policy to which he has
committed the government. would work more
harm to the Tory party than his retention in
office, at least until the feeling his action has
engendered has subsided, and it may be stated
as a fact that he will not resign. While his
resignation, under other circumstances. would
have been cheerfully welcomed by his colleagues
at any time during the past six months or more,
none of them would wish to have him go now.
In the House of Commons. this evening, Mr.
W. H. Smith made a labored explanation of the
Cass affair, which was listened to in silence until
the Conservative leader announced that Lord
Halsburg Lord High Chancellor, would insti-
tute a thorough investigation or ne matter,
when he was interrupted by shout approval
In consequence of the bitter fee Of many
leading Tories against Mr.. Matthews. that gem
tleman offered to resign but his colleagues. for
obvious reasons, have requested him to remain
in Office until the end of the parliam entary ses-
sion.

the other houses. vanished completely from

catastrophe, and it is likely that many of those
who perished never knew what had happened.
At least one hundred persons lost their lives
Among those in the hotel who failed to escape
was NJ Collin, the president of the canton of
Zug. An infant found alive and unhurt

MEXICO MAY HAVE A CARDINAL.
A Quite General Belief that the Red Hat Will
Be Given to Labastida.

ST. LouIs, July Ga correspondent of the
Globe-Democrat writing from the City of Mexi-
co. says that there is general impression in
that country that the next cardinal appointed on
this side of the Atlantic will be Mexican arch
bishop The Roman Catholics claim that they
have 9.S61, 900 communicates in the republic.
There are $500 churches. The population of
the republic, according to the latest census. is
about 10, 500, ,000 In the city of Mexico there
are 126 Catholic churches The wife of President
Diaz is q regular attendant at the Church of
Santa Brigida. the aristocratic Catholic church
of the capital. President Diaz is not unfriendly
towards the Catholic Church. He and his
ciates virtually say to the church authorities:
keep in your places the molders of spirit
ual sentiment and let politics alone, then we can
all get along together"
The hea of the Catholic Church in Mexico is
Archbishop Labastida While the empire of
Macmillan being set up. Labastida the
political representative of Napoleon III, and the
spiritual representative OF the Pope in Mexico
This distinction cost him several years of exile
In 1870 he WAS permitted to return from exile
and he resumed his duties the senior of the
three archbishops of the country Labastida
belongs to one of the wealthiest families in Mex-
leo. His full rame is Antonio Pelagio de Labas-
ida He has drawn largely upon his private
fortune for the needs of the church In Mexico,
and has contributed literally towards the church
funds sent to Rome. Labasrida is diplomatic,
and Is on good terms with the Liberal party.
1t Is generally believed that if a cardinal is ap
pointed In Mexico the red hat will fall to Arch
bishop Labastida. Even the Liberals would be
gratl1ed over such result. Said a priest: Il
think. from all can learn. that this step is in
contempl latlon. But in my opinion the arch
bishop will not receive this mark of favor the
result or desire at Rome to do honor to Mexico
he will receive the red hat because he is Labas-
tida, and not because he is the senior of the
three archbishops of this country"

THE CRAZY ROMANOFFS.
How Insanity Has Rum Through the Entire

In the recently published memoirs of Count
Vitzthum, of Eckstadt. proofs are given of the
hereditary character of the mental disease which

case of Nicolas until after the Cars death.
An English physician, however, the Count saws
noticed the appearance of the hereditary disease
in the Gear AS early as July. 1853, and he then
predicted that the monarch had not more than
two years of life before him. This he stated in
a letter to Lord Palmerston. The Emperor
Nicolas died in March, 1855, about four months
earlier than the date'predicted. The Count ap-
